HoO One Shots

🌊 Just Winter Things 🌊

You came to a blue blanket on the ground with a picnic basket resting on top of it. But you couldn't find Percy.

"Hey Perc!" You shouted out, hoping he'll jump out of the tree line in front of you.

As you stood there waiting, you heard the crunching noise of someone walking towards you and instantly turned around.

"Hey Annabeth," You greeted, waving at her softly.

She waved back but put her hand down when she noticed the concerned look on your face.

"I saw Percy by the lake a few minutes back if you're looking for him," Annabeth said, gesturing towards the path she was just on.

You hugged her quickly as a thank you and hurried down the path. While going down it, you were thinking of what you were going to say to that lovely boyfriend of yours, who left you out in the cold.

"So where's that little girlfriend of yours, Perc?" You heard a girl say as you got closer to the lake.

Someone said something back but you couldn't hear it over the sound of your footsteps in the snow.

When you left the path and made it to the long stretch of sand, you couldn't believe the sight in front of you. Your boyfriend, Perseus Jackson, was kissing some girl.

You stood there for a good second before turning back towards the path. You didn't know what to feel. All you felt was the numbness from the cold that was slowly invading your warm coat.

You usually couldn't feel cold. You were like a furnace and others would use you for your warmth but now it was like you had no more energy.

You got back to the blanket and reached down to it. You folded it up and picked up the basket. You didn't want the food to go to waste so you brought it to the Athena cabin. Why them? You don't know but you had an urge to give it to them.

You turned away from the gray cabin and walked towards the Hades cabin. You needed someone to talk to and Nico was the only one that might understand.

"Hey girl," You heard Will say from Nico's bed. You didn't say anything and just walked towards him. Will looked up at you with worry as you stopped at the edge of the bed.

"I saw Percy kissing some girl by the beach and I came here," You muttered, stretching your arms out for a hug.

Will's face went through multiple reactions but very quickly. He put aside his book and opened his arms out for you to climb in the bed beside him.

You slid off your boots and threw your coat down beside them. You slid into the bed beside Will and he wrapped his arms around you. Somehow the numbness in your body left and you broke.

Will held you close as you sobbed into his shirt. The door to the cabin opened and you knew it was Nico by the way Will moved up slightly.

Your body moved closer to Will as you felt a sudden dip in the mattress. A hand reached up to move your hair away from your face.

"What happened to her?" You heard Nico ask. You could tell both boys were worried about you but you didn't want to explain yourself again. You were just hoping this was all a nightmare and that you'd wake up and none of it would've happened.

"She saw Percy-" Will stopped and looked down at your shaking form. You felt him move his one arm and you could only guess that he was explaining the situation with his hand.

"That son of a-" Nico started but cut himself off when he felt you shift closer to Will. The dip disappeared and you heard footsteps walk away from the bed.

"Where are you going?" Will asked. The footsteps stopped but you could hear the door opening.

"I got a bone to pick with Jackson." Was what Nico said before leaving the cabin.

"We should go after him, shouldn't we?" Will said, looking down at your now still body.

Though you were hurt, you didn't want Nico to hurt him. I mean, feelings don't just disappear in a minute.

Will lifted you off of him and slipped out of the bed. He walked to your side and gestured for you to sit up. You did as you were told and he gently slipped your boots on you.

"I'm sorry," You whispered when he went to put on your left boot.

"I don't mind. You could come to me crying in the middle of the night and I'd drop sleep for you. You know that already," Will said, picking up your coat from off the ground.

He went to put it on you but you grabbed it before he could put it on you.

"I can do it," You said, softly. He nodded and stood up to get his own boots on.

You and Will had found Nico and Percy arguing in front of the Hephaestus cabin.

At the sight of Percy, you almost turned around. You knew it would be better to confront him now but you couldn't. You didnt have enough energy to deal with feelings right now.

Will's grip on your arm got tighter as he basically dragged you towards the arguing boys.

"At least let him know why he's in the wrong," Will said, under his breath.

"He should already know if that kiss wasn't an accident," You responded back.

Before Will could reply, Percy had caught sight of you and was running towards your direction.

"Y/n, tell Nico to back off!" Percy exclaimed as he got closer. You had stopped walking and waited until Percy had reached you as well as Nico.

"That's not what you told that girl you were kissing earlier," You muttered but Percy could hear what you said clearly.

Percy's face went through a couple reactions to get to one you couldn't explain.

"She just came out of nowhere, Y/n! I was waiting at the tree for you with food and everything and she told me a fish was stuck in a trap in the lake!" He exclaimed. You could see that he was telling the truth. At moments like this, he was like a book and you could read him easily.

"Then why didn't you push her away?" You asked, tears welling up in your eyes for the second time today.

Percy opened his mouth to say something and closed it. He was trying to grasp on to the right words but couldn't. You knew that Percy was loyal to you but if he couldn't explain why he didn't do anything then he was in trouble.

"I'm gonna go Percy," You said, interrupting his thoughts.

"Wait, Y/n, don't leave," He said, reaching out for you. You could see the hurt in his eyes as you took a step back.

"I'm sorry but I don't really wanna see you right now." You turned away from Percy. "I'll talk to you when I'm ready but for now, have fun with her."

You walked away with Will holding your arm still. You wanted to turn around, to tell Percy you were sorry but it wasn't your turn to apologize, it was his.
